The PSF's tax returns are published on python.org, and 'revenue less expenses' for 2018 was just under $280k. IANA accountant, so maybe that's the wrong line to look at.

Hi, I'm a PSF Director and the PSF's Treasure as of this year. For transparency, our tax returns as of 2018 (and soon 2019) are up on https://www.python.org/psf/records/

You are right that this donation does not show up in our tax filings because they provide it to any OSS project.

Also, it's not income that you would put in your 990s. Similarly, the donor cannot deduct the expense of the donation.

Correct on both points. (I do consider it a potential liability though.)
